Chapter 16 Boating and Traveling
When Mu Ke got up, she was a little dizzy and staggered, but fortunately, Qi Morui, who was beside her, quickly supported her so that she didn't fall.
When the queen mother in front saw it, she couldn't help but be a little worried, and immediately asked Mu Kexian, "What's wrong with the crown princess?" “
Mu Kexian was a little embarrassed, and almost made a fool of herself in front of everyone. But in order not to worry the queen, she had to reply with a red face, "Erchen is fine, but he is a little hungry." “
Mu Kexian's words made the queen laugh and even the emperor laughed. The queen continued, "Let everyone go in." ”
However, Qi Morui was still a little worried about Mu Kexian's body, but because of the presence of many people, he had to take Mu Kexian's hand and enter the inner hall instead.
Mu Kexian is not used to being so close to people in front of so many people, and she is a little shy. kept shaking Qi Morui's hand, and whispered, "Your Highness, there are people all around!" ”
Qi Morui didn't think so, and grabbed Mu Ke's hand tighter. Mu Kexian had no choice but to secretly complain in her heart, how could this person be like this, usually the image of the prince is maintained so well, but I didn't expect that there was still the potential of a scoundrel in private.
When the Queen Mother came out, she saw the little couple holding hands at a glance, and her face immediately smiled. After everyone finished saluting, he said to the prince, "Rui'er, I am afraid that the princess will get lost here in the mourning family, and her hands are held so tightly." ”
Mu Kexian has been teased today, and she is also very helpless. had to bow his head shyly, anyway, there was Qi Morui to deal with, and he really didn't know how to answer.
Qi Morui knew that if it continued like this, the crown princess might be going to blow up, so she had to change the topic to the queen mother, "The imperial grandmother rested well last night, are you not used to it?" ”
When the Queen Mother is old, she likes to listen to her good grandson's words of concern for her, and replied with a smile, "Don't look at people as old as the imperial grandmother, her adaptability is better, much better than some people." This was clearly addressed to the Celestial Princess.
Mu Kexian went to bed early last night and didn't know much about it, but the Queen Mother knew it.
Last night, the eldest princess Qi Xi lost her temper in the palace where she lived, saying that the bedding on the bed smelled, and that the air in the room where she lived was poor. knew that she was scolded by the emperor, and let her go back to the palace by herself if she made trouble again, so she gave up.
After hearing this, the eldest princess's biological mother, Concubine Lin, immediately knelt down and asked the queen mother and the emperor for her guilt.
Concubine Lin has always been very aware of her status, she is just a small concubine, and the eldest princess is not favored. However, the eldest princess didn't think so, and always thought that she was the emperor's first daughter and deserved preferential treatment. Last night, he was provoked by his own nurse, so he did such a thing.
The eldest princess didn't want to kneel down at first, but her mother had already confessed, and she had to reluctantly confess.
When the emperor saw the attitude of the eldest princess, he was angry. shouted, "You still don't know what is wrong, do you?" ”
The eldest princess didn't see it at all, and thought that her father was asking herself, and when she defended herself, "Father, the bamboo building where the sons live is located in a remote location, and it is still very messy inside, so I want to change places." ”
"Oh, where does the royal sister want to live?" Qi Morui pretended to be curious and asked.
"Of course, it's Zhan Qingxuan, where the imperial sister-in-law lives, and it's close to the garden." The eldest princess obviously didn't see the emperor's gradually ugly face, and kept pulling her sleeves despite her mother.
Only then did Mu Kexian understand that the turmoil over the place of residence was still around her. No wonder I came over just now, and I didn't have a good face when I saw the eldest princess.
"Smack", the emperor slammed the teacup in his hand on the table. "Since you can't get used to it, let me go back to the palace!"
The eldest princess was frightened at this time, and the emperor's reaction was obviously beyond his expectations, not only did she not get any benefits, but she had to be sent back to the palace. My nurse said that she was the eldest princess, and her status was very high, and her father would love her very much.
Seeing that her daughter was finally born in peace, Concubine Lin stopped talking nonsense, and immediately thanked her and retreated.
But no one saw it, and the face of the concubine on the side was slightly bent.
After saying goodbye, everyone dispersed and went back to the dormitory.
After returning to Zhan Qingxuan, Mu Kexian has been thinking about the eldest princess, and she has never met this princess a few times, so why is she being held against someone. The eldest princess is only a teenager, a child, looking at Concubine Lin's appearance, it is not like she can teach the eldest princess to do this.
"Slim, it's time to eat." Mu Kexian was immersed in her own world, and she came back to her senses when she was called by Qi Morui.
"Why did you say that the eldest princess is eyeing my Zhan Qingxuan."
Qi Morui looked calm and relaxed, and replied slowly, "The eldest princess is not close to Concubine Lin on weekdays, but she is very close to her nursing mother. “
Mu Kexian thought about it for a while, but still didn't understand, "But why did the eldest princess's nurse want to harm her?" “
Qi Morui chuckled, secretly thinking that Mu Kexian was still innocent. There were once two little princesses in the palace who were gone, one was born by his mother, and the other was born by the concubine, but unfortunately they were not raised. Concubine Shu naturally couldn't see that the favor that originally belonged to her daughter was taken away by others, but it was a pity that the eldest princess was too stupid, and she didn't know that the people around her were not close to her.
"Didn't you say you're hungry, let's eat, you didn't eat well yesterday."
Mu Kexian didn't have much interest in breakfast, but at least there was a pickled cucumber that was a little more than last night.
"Do you have something to do today?" Mu Kexian put down the square scarf and asked Qi Morui, who was drinking tea on the side.
"It's okay, it was all arranged last night." Hearing Qi Morui say that he was free, Mu Kexian's eyes lit up.
"Shall we go rafting then?" Mu Kexian said half-coquettishly, "I haven't rowed a boat for a long time." “
Qi Morui smiled lightly and responded to Mu Kexian's request and ordered someone to prepare the things.
"Wait for me in a moment, I'll change my clothes." Mu Kexian is still the clothes of the time of the invitation, gorgeous is gorgeous, but it is too cumbersome, since he goes rowing, of course, he must wear it more conveniently.
On the cruise, Mu Kexian looked very excited, and said to the lake, "When I was at home before, I always secretly ran out with my brother to go boating, but there are many lotus ponds there. ”
Qi Morui listened to Mu Kexian's voice full of memories, and suddenly felt a little distressed, stepped forward and hugged the woman's waist, and asked, "Are you very unhappy after entering the palace?" ”
Mu Kexian was stopped by this question, and was stunned for a moment, before she replied with a smile, "Life in the palace is okay, the queen mother loves me, and you accompany me." He looked at Qi Morui affectionately.
Qi Morui subconsciously wanted to lower his head and kiss him, and his heart was as sweet as eating honey.
Unexpectedly, Mu Kexian tilted his head and leaned against his chest and said, "This is outside, you should pay attention!" ”
Qi Morui had no choice but to give up and reluctantly let go of the other party's waist.
Mu Kexian remembered that when she got on the boat, she seemed to see the piano. "I'll play the piano for you, okay?" Mu Kexian smiled and said, "I am not only good at chess, but also very good at playing the piano." “
Qi Morui naturally believes that the title of the first beauty in Beijing is naturally not an empty shelf.
The sound of the piano came and flowed slowly, like the crispness of spring water hitting a pebble, but with a bit of lingering tactfulness, Mu Kexian's piano sound really deserved its reputation. After a song, Qi Morui walked straight to Mu Kexian's side and picked a few strings casually.
Mu Kexian obviously didn't expect that His Royal Highness the dignified Prince could also play the piano, and couldn't help but be full of expectations.
Qi Morui surrounded Mu Kexian, and the sound of the piano came out of his fingertips. Although Qi Morui's piano sound is not as beautiful as Mu Kexian's, it has a little more strength. After a few notes, Mu Kexian heard that Qi Morui was playing "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", and she couldn't help but feel a trace of sweetness in her heart.
After another song, Mu Kexian leaned on Qi Morui's chest, looked at the light blue sky, smelled the fragrance of lotus flowers, and was in a very good mood.
"Husband, do you feel that my waist has thickened recently, I found it when I changed my clothes just now?"
"Really?" Qi Morui looked up and down and nodded, "It seems to be a little thicker." ”
"Hey, is there anything like you? They even said I was fat. ”
"You said you were fat first." Qi Morui watched his wife blatantly play Lai Pi with amusement.
"Then you can't say I'm fat!" Mu Kexian was a little sad in an instant, "You actually dislike me." Tears actually came out.
Qi Morui was really surprised, but his joke caused the person in his arms to shed tears. I had to gently wipe the tears from the corners of the other party's eyes with my hand, and coaxed me to say, "I'm joking, don't take it seriously." “
Mu Kexian didn't know what was wrong with her, her tears were uncontrollable, and she snorted.
The picture of the two snuggling up to each other is simply the sweetest scenery.
The queen mother on the shore was also very relieved. Originally, it was Mama Gui who pulled herself out, saying that she wanted to go shopping, but when she heard the sound of the piano, she came over to take a look.
I thought it was a fox who was seducing the emperor, but I didn't expect it to be my son and daughter-in-law.
"It seems that the prince is doing well, and the mother can rest assured!" Mama Gui said to the queen with a smile on her face.
"This palace has also been so sweet with the emperor, but it's a pity that ....... later" The queen's tone suddenly lowered.
"Niangniang, you are also living happily now!" Mama Gui was afraid of mentioning the queen's sadness, so she hurriedly comforted.
The queen smiled sadly, what about the queen, it wasn't that she watched her husband's harem have one concubine after another, and she still had to pretend to be generous.
When did he start to be estranged, probably because he had just lost his child, and his husband was with other concubines. She didn't want her daughter-in-law to be like herself, a little desperate for the huge palace.
"This palace only hopes that the two of them can always be well." Don't let yourself and the emperor repeat in their footsteps, from the original love to the current respect.
"Mama Gui, let's go, let them play for a while." After a pause, he said, "Send people to guard here, and when they come down, let them come over for lunch at noon."
